****ing hell if someone with Deeney's brain capacity got a crack on the head like that, he'd be eating through a straw for the rest of his life.

Might make him look better though

Anyone see a future for football that ends up more like the rules for 5 a-side with no balls above head height, all played on the deck?

Or F1...with rubber,bouncy, elasticband motors....

Man U seem to have sorted themselves out now, really think they can challenge for top 3, they have bought wisely in Edinson Cavani the Uruguayan is 33 but as they say form is temporary but is is permanent. He's showing Progba how to score, a proper hard old school striker

you obviously missed the 1st half yesterday they were utterly hopeless. 

 

Cavani is likely to get banned for 3 games now to. 

 

They will challenge the top 6 but top 3 is a push.

Amount of stoppages would be unreal and free kicks would be near enough pointless.

Dear Congerton in the January transfer market please find us a old fashioned strong Uruguayan striker. One that dosn't mess around in front of goal like Edinson Cavani yesterday, a proper hard old school striker.

I feel like Uruguay should have achieved more with prime Cavani, Forlan and Suaraz as a front 3.

Individually the country produces brillant tough players more than any south american country but somehow collectively in the WC  can't  produce it together

Considering he's been responsible for a couple of fine ones, that's a bit rich from him to be thinking of players welfare like this. Or maybe he's hoping concussion substitutes come in so he can make it a tactic?

How long is a player out with an injury like that? Glad he’s alright. 

Speaking from experience I am still recovering from a linear skull fracture that occurred in early August. I still don’t feel 100% right and am unable to drive or play contact sport.

 This one is clearly worst as it required surgery. I really hope the guy properly recovers and plays again, but it is by no means guaranteed 😔

[The Bear 3,609]

It depends on the person, location of contact, and possible damage underneath the skin. 

 

Someone with more medical knowledge has said the impact location looks like the temporal bone. That will have been reinforced with metal plates during surgery. The fact he was conscious shortly after surgery indicates that there was no bleed underneath.

 

So hopefully a positive prognosis, and up to him whether he carries on playing. Of course there may be longer term unforseen complications but I'm trying to be optimistic.

Praying he makes full recovery. Health is more important than anything else but obviously really hope he manages to get back on the pitch 🙏. Good player and would be such a shame if not possible.

I was assaulted and hit my head on a curb. I was quite lucky by all accounts. Easily could have suffered a brain bleed but fortunately it was just a small linear fracture. 

[Lambert09 2,745]

Such a shame. Jiminez seems like a great guy and obviously he’s is an unbelievable player. Would be a huge loss to the sport if he was out for a long time

All the best. Pint on me in Manchester when things return to some semblance of normality.

Rattled as fvck 

'stop the interview I only want to speak to people that have an idea about football' 

 

What an arrogant cvnty thing to say. 

 

Then when interviewer says people in studio say its a penalty as well he gets all arsey. 

 

How boring would it be if everyone just agreed with each other like he desired

 

 

Glad people are finally starting to realise what a monumental bellend he is. I cant wait to finally be living in a country free from klopp management. (I was unfortunate enough to live just outside of dortmund whilst he was manager there his entire reign)

On SKy Sports MNF now, Man Utd goals highlights and Cavani racism talk. Nothing about our game.

I wonder if Man Utd were home to Fulham, would they be analysing our goals in our win vs Southampton the day before?

 

 

One question to Neville about Leicester: will Leicester fancy a title charge?

 

’No, Leicester are doing amazing, they are playing fantastic football and everyone is suprised they are up there but no they won’t win the league’

You can tell me he hasn’t got a scooby what he’s on about rolling these cliches.

’we’re doing amazing’(because we’re Leicester and we’re not supposed to be in the top 6)

’we’re playing fantastic football’(because how can we be 4th if we hadn’t been)

’everyone is suprised they are up there’(because we’re Leicester City and we arnt meant to be, despite if our exact squad were in Utd tops, we could win the title)

’but no they won’t win the league’(because we’re Leicester and it’s an easy thing to say).

 

The standard of punditry, even from a so called top pundit, is absolutely ****ing shocking!

Looking forward to Fulham scoring some unstoppable penalties next week after their last two efforts

Can this go in the ever obliging thread

[Kingleicester 218]

Jamie Carragher needs to be sacked, saying Brendan can change up things, that’s the most ridiculous thing I have heard from a football pundit, you know nothing 

[Super_horns 853]

Watkins hasn’t got a great penalty record.

Missed 4 out of 6.

That Bowen lad is decent isn’t he... 👀

 

Another potential winger who got shot down on here for being in the championship and not having a flair sounding name  

 

I’ll add him to my list of “always 7/10” players that we are desperately crying out for here. 

[Ian Nacho 3,422]

Shows what a disgrace the media is. Van Djik has a poorly knee and they’re all over that, then Jimenez could have died and his career could be potentially be over and there hasn’t been anything.

this is bollocks
